My Favorite Neighbor is a direct reference to the talented Stefan Asseo of L’Aventure wines. Stefan proved a great mentor when Eric was introduced to the Paso wine industry and our vineyard happens to share a small border with L’Aventure’s estate. This wine will always be a Syrah and Bourdeaux blend and will always be a tribute to their favorite French neighbor!"

The 2016 My Favorite Neighbor is made with the intent of competing with cult Napa Cabernet Sauvignon yet at a more maintainable $80 price point. Coming all from westside Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon mostly on clay soils and brought up all in French oak I'm thrilled to say that it succeeds beautifully. This deep purple-colored beauty offers an incredible perfume of crème de cassis blackberries graphite lead pencil and ample crushed rock-like minerality. Showing more nuance and floral characteristics with time in the glass as well as full body sweet tannins and no hard edges it's a sensationally rich and seamless Cabernet Sauvignon from Paso Robles to drink over the coming decade.

The 2016 My Favorite Neighbor Proprietary Blend is 69% Cabernet Sauvignon 20% Syrah and 11% Petit Verdot. Very deep purple-black colored it reveals intense cassis ripe plums and wild blueberries with touches of licorice tilled soil and black pepper with a waft of floral notions. Full rich chocolaty and oh-so-seductive it fills the mouth with generous crushed black berries flavors framed by rounded tannins and finishing long and spicy.
